Gen Andrade Gets a Trial Date

According to the digital edition of the Fall River Herald, U.S. Federal Court Judge Douglas Woodlock made it official yesterday that former Chief of Staff for Jasiel Correia, Gen Andrade, will be heading to trial on December 6. 

 

In June, Woodlock made a surprising ruling when he rejected Andrade’s guilty plea to six counts of extortion, bribery and lying to federal officials last December for her alleged part in the former Fall River mayor's government corruption scheme. Judge Woodlock made it clear during Andrades June sentencing hearing that he was displeased with the terms of the C-plea agreement in which Andrade and the government agreed she would not receive any prison time in exchange for her plea.
